I had to start with my back facing the side of the house, the stilts just a bit ahead of me so that when I hopped up, the stilts and I fell backward but the wall stopped me from falling all the way down. Then I could get balanced and pull the whole shebang forward. Just as you described, and then the slow motion falling forward to hop off. What a feeling!

Grab some stilts, although it is only about 6" higher, as a child, it was certainly 10' maybe more! <br />Enjoy those onions and if you ever want to prank someone who loves carmel covered apples at Halloween, onions are about the same size as an apple; wicked, I know.
